The remarkable Jana Winderen delivers another arresting piece of field recording for the Touch label, this time presenting a veritable deluge for the ears. 'Submerged' consumes the listener with an overwhelming barrage from the elements; it's an inundation of water and air, featuring waves lapping coarsely against the shore and winds howling all about you while a variety of different watery timbres flood the mix. You'll hear close-up, fizzing kinetic intensity and deeper, gurgling sonorities all flying around in there, and the whole piece comes across as an outstanding piece of environemental sound art - a little more sculpted than the sort of thing you might expect from Winderen's labelmate (and kindred spirit) Chris Watson, but no less engaging for that.
